Ok, a response from a core (connector) developer:
I tested your report on TC 5 and the JKCoyote connector, and it works
perfectly.  Since what I choose to do is also irrelevant (and I wouldn't
have it any other way :), I'm choosing not to look into it further.
However, if you see this problem on 3.3.2, I'd be more than happy to look at
it again ;-).

Patches are alway welcome ;-).
